5 Things We Learnt From Arsenal’s Community Shield Triumph

4. Arsenal’s Signings Are Superb

It’s been an exciting transfer window for Arsenal with Alexis Sanchez, Mathieu Debuchy, Calum Chambers and David Ospina arriving at the Emirates. Three of the above featured yesterday and all impressed.

Alexis Sanchez, despite still not being 100% ready, gave a hint of what was to come with brilliant skills, bags of pace and superb balls through. With Mesut Ozil alongside him, we can expect big things from Alexis this season and we’re all excited to see him at his best.

Behind him on the right was Mathieu Debuchy, who put in a superb performance in front of the man he replaced- Bacary Sagna. Debuchy was solid at the back with hefty tackles to put a stop to Manchester City’s pressure and he was superb going forward, putting in dangerous crosses on a number of occasions.

Lastly, Calum Chambers was simply incredible. Solid at the back and an inspirational performance for the youngster, who showed just how good he is in the centre of defence. Arsenal paid a lot of money for his services but it certainly looks like money well spent. In fact, at this rate it’s a bargain.
